Fig. 28 is a perspective view showing one of the lower rock-bars and the means for imparting motion therefrom tothe lower punch-bars, a keylever and lower units-bar being shown in dotted lines.

The working mechanism of the machine, which latter will be termed a keyboard, may be conveniently mounted in a frame or casing which is preferably divided into a bottom section l and intermediate section 2 and a paper-supporting frame 3, surmounting the section 2. The bottom section 1 of the casing preferably has an extended base for the accom mod-ation of the key-levers and at its fron t is arranged to permit the key-levers to project for the attachment of the linger-pieces 4, these finger-pieces and key-levers being arranged `in Vertical columns and horizontal rows, as will hereinafter appear in the description of this particular part of the machine. 'lhe intermediate portion of the casing 2 preferably contains the indicating mechanism and a portion of the pu nch-bar-operating mechanism, and at the left-hand side provision is made for supporting the weight from which the driving power is secured and the racks vand mechanism through which such power is transmitted to the operating parts of the keyboard.

For convenience in manufacture both in respect to the assembling of the parts and in respect to the cost the three sections of the casing and the mechanism carried thereby are made up of independent parts,which however, in the assembled struct-ure are connected up for unitary action.

Mechanism for holding and'fecd'ing the paper-The frame 3 at the top of the machine is arranged with bearings 5 for therecoption TOO
